Due to our increasing PAN and student numbers, we are excited to offer the opportunity to join our academy as our staff body continues to grow and support our larger year groups of 220 students. This is an exciting time to join our academy as we celebrate our Outstanding Academy Inspection in November 2023. Inspectors stated that Bristnall Hall Academy is a “truly inclusive and harmonious school” and that “everyone is proud to be part of a close-knit school community that is working together with a common purpose.” Our staff “feel valued” and our classrooms “ooze enthusiasm and productivity”.
We are seeking to appoint an organised individual with awareness of health & safety regulations and the ability to prioritise work tasks, with a real drive to enhance students’ experience of secondary education. The ideal candidate will be an ambitious professional with proven experience of working under pressure to meet deadlines. Experience of working with children in an education setting is desirable but not essential. Reporting to the Area Leader for Science, this role will involve providing technical support to meet the needs of the Science Faculty and under the direction of the Principal, carry out academy maintenance duties in the proportion of hours set aside and aggregated for this purpose including offering first aid assistance to our students.
The successful candidate will join an academy which is dynamic and inspiring; creating a culture of outstanding success amongst our students. To succeed, you will have a good academic standard of general education to GCSE grade C/4 in English and Maths and have good basic computer skills. We are keen to secure an individual who can make a telling contribution to our team. The department is part of a well led, mutually supportive Science team; there is a very strong commitment to improving standards. The appointed candidate will work collaboratively with colleagues and will be supported by a strong SLT.
Why choose Bristnall Hall Academy? We have a key focus on staff well-being, with a number of initiatives in place across the academy including bespoke departmental marking and assessment policies which have dramatically reduced teacher workload. If you want to inspire, aspire and achieve, come and join something special and make your mark.
We aim to provide our young people with the qualifications, skills and attributes to have a successful and happy life.
